💡 JAMA Insights: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an imaging modality that the 2025 American Thoracic Society Clinical Practice Guideline on CAP endorses as an acceptable diagnostic alternative to chest radiography for adults with suspected CAP at centers with appropriate clinical expertise.

#POCUS by trained clinicians is a guideline-endorsed alternative to chest #radiography for #pneumonia diagnosis, offering higher sensitivity and specificity, immediate results, and no ionizing radiation.
